For a list of bad laconics, see Sandbox.Pages Needing Better Laconics.
For generally accepted guidelines for laconics, see Sandbox.Laconic Wiki Template.
Today I found out an interesting fact from troper Ironeye:
Don't ever make the mistake of using the Laconic version as the canonical trope meaning—the laconics are often written by people who don't actually understand the drop. In this case, the laconic only corresponds to one possible cause of Darkness-Induced Audience Apathy.
The Laconic Description for DIAA states as follows:
The thing is, these descriptions are supposed to make it easier to understand what the page is about. If they can't be accurate as well as short and sweet, then there's a problem.
So for starters, what would be a better description for DIAA?

As the person who added the comment, I feel it's safe to cut it now.
So Laconic.Sinkhole has sinkholes. I know it demonstrates it, but like Laconic.Pothole previously, this is annoying, and I would rather cut them all.

I honestly don't see the big deal; it's just a short Self-Demonstrating Article.
Reposting
. In Laconic.Sinister Minister, someone added this part (I put it in bold):
. However, I checked the character page of the work in question, and I didn't see Sinister Minister even potholed. Do you all think it would be fine if I remove it?
I fix my examples all the time
I think it's fine to remove it.

Regarding Laconic.Sinkhole, there's a discussion and crowner ongoing on which kinds of pages should even have laconics at all.

Bumping this again, cause third time’s the charm.
the Retromancer
Laconic.Ojou: "A non-royal princess."
Maybe unclear? Suggesting:
A girl from a rich family that is treated / treats herself like of a higher social class.
TroperWall / WikiMagic Cleanup
Blapper of Water
Honestly, I think they all need to be changed as they all rely on knowledge of other works to make any sense.
the Retromancer
That's not the question, I believe they're asking if anyone can brainstorm.

I support that suggestion.

Although, it doesn't say anything about Monster Development...

Yeah, so those anyone have any ideas?
"Scary girl notices the most popular boy in school crushing on her and reciprocates"?

Replced the Kimi Ni Todoke laconic. But what about the others?

Shadow Hearts could say something about being "A video game series set in the early 20th century"?

Sorry doesn't seem accurate. No offense
- It's fine. I just glanced at the page, and the details I felt competent enough to summarize it seemed to say that all its games were set in that time.
I'm helping!
Laconic.Macekre currently reads
which is just completely incorrect.
Trouble Cube continues to be a general-purpose forum for those who desire such a thing.
"A Frankenslation or other changes to a translated work that viewers consider shoddy"?

Super Mario Galaxy has a generic Recycled In Space laconic. What about this suggestion:
"Bowser plans to take over the universe, so Mario embarks on an adventure out of his world to stop him"
135 - 158 - 273 - 191 - 188 - 230 - 300

Looks good to me
And yeah we should remove the current comment as well.
